A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Surprising Talent of Griffin's Amateur
Actors.
Th* library entertainment on Tuesday
uiglit w as one of the most successful ovtr
given by auy organization in (irttlln. the
only drawback being that the brilliancy of
the first part rattier eclipsed the interest in
the spoiling mutch which followed and In
which so many of Gridin's proud youth
sought to gain distinction and ignominious
ly fsiled. At an early hour the audience com
mcuoed to gather, and when tho curtain
rose it was before the largest crowd of the
season.
The opening overture was a sparkling
piano duct by Misses Moss and Randall, fol
lowed by the burlesque drama of “Leap
Year,” an amusing piece and well played
throughout, Indeed, the actors in this
showed an ability and proficiency in their
part* that la rarely surpassed by the average
professional actor. They were all well up
In their parts aud carried themselves on the
stage with an ease and presence that caused
the audiyice to be deeply engaged and de¬
lighted iu the conversation and plot, in¬
stead of tho pity and uneasiness that is gen¬
erally excited by the awkward actiug of
amateurs. The principal parts were lakcn
by 1). J. Bailey, Jr., and Miss Emma John¬
the Coqneliu and Mine. Hading of
the excellence of whose perform
lies in its rigid simplicity; the words,
manner and intonations of real iifo
and utter absence of affectation and grim
They were sustained by the support,
technique of the play requiring no
of excessive emotion, but
the humor and occassional glimpses of
in the situations. Following is the
caste:
Likely—A young physician,
Mr. U. J. Bailey, Jr.
Kate Dareall—A joung heiress in love with
James..............Miss Emma Johnson.
Green—An old maid,
Miss Annie Randall.
Lavonia Larkin—A dashing young widow,
Miss Mollie Kogore,
Mother Hawkins alias Kate Dareall.
Mias Emma Johusou.
Bridget McPhccters—House maid,
Mias Hadie Asher.
Patrick McCarthy- -James’ servant,
Mr, J, H. Shaffer.
Following the drama came an exquisite
vocal solo serenade by Miss Emma Stilwell,
who really achieved the triumph of the eve-
ning. Her voice is sweet, clear and well
trained, of good timbre, while her enuncia¬
tion aud intonation is so perfect that every
word is perfectly distinguishable in tho
highest notes-—a most desirable but rare
accomplishment in these days of operatie
shrillness and mere noise. Responding to
a hearty encore, Miss Stillwell returned and
sang “Coming through the Rye.”
The second play was a charade, •‘Valen¬
tine Day,” n light and short skit, which
passed smoothly and trippingly over, with
out balk or break, the principal feature be.
ing the astounding metamorphosis at tiic
wind up of the Btar, Miss Gussle Trammel,
from a most imposed upon and humbly at
tired maid of all work into a fascinating
young lady in a very lovely and becoming
evening dross- The full cast was:
Charles Valentine Day.. .Mr. J. H. Shatter.
Mr. Walters.............Mr. James Logan.
Mrs. Merdon...........Miss Mollie Rogers.
Miss fioycc .............Miss Annie Mooney.
Bella Bonny........Miss Gnssie Trammel.
Alter music by Misses Moss utid Randall,
Misses Trammel and Rogers enacted the
beautiful tableau of “Rock me to Bleep,” In
which the grow n child once more pleads for
the rest which only was given by its mother
in times past, and the mother sings the au-
swer in a far a way voice and then glides np
outlie stage in wings and beautiful bare
arms and tho general appearance of a first,
class angel. This was very pathetic and
fetching, and would doubtless have brought
tears to the eyes of the audience if the red
light had made a more successful debut.
A brillant piano solo by Miss Anna Belie
Moss was followed by the spelling bee, in
which Judge Becks took the position of iu
torloeutor aud Ed Hammond aud Emmett
Womack acted as end men. After a very
short and disastrous round, in which eacli
fallen hero was dragged^off the stage amid
peals of the base drum aud the openly ex
pressed contumely and scorn of the nudi
ence, Judge Boynton in a graceful spoech
awarded the worst prize to Coluei Bailey
and the best to Onomatopoeia Jones. Tbe
prizes were a peanut penwiper aiul a twenty
five cent walking stick, and trie philological
reporter of the News found the disappointed
aspirants unanimous iu the expression that
{hoy wore not worth having.
Col. Womack recited “How Ruby Flayed”
■a his tminltable manner, and the audience
broke up.
The receipts were }'< i, of which B5 s will be
net - the largest amount made this season.
We are glad to state that there are pros
pects of further entertainments during the
year by the Library Dramatic Club.

A Return to Duty,
This is always desirable, and the speedier
it takes place the better. Doubly welcome is
it in the case of those usually industrious lit

disease and diabetes. Next, when inac tive

Marion Mann Loses His Mind.
Marion Mann, an old citizen of
Griffin, who for some time has been
occupying a room over Niles’clothing
store, was found in his loom this
morning in a perfectly nude condi
tioii. Abel Wright, whose office is
opposite Mann’s room, heard a loud
noise and upon going into the old
man’s room, found him in the
tion as above described. His room
was a perfect wreck, he having torn
down his bed and placed
in a topsy turvy condition. In
hand he held grasped a slat of the
bed, and upon inquiry, stated that he
had been killing tied bugs all night
and up to date bad slain about 5,000.
There was one very large one, hew
ever, that had eluded his efforts
kill him, and had led him a chase
several hours. The proper authuri
ties have been notified and be will
be taken to the asylum. He is suf¬
fering Srotn a mild attack of lunacy
and is perfectly harmless. For some
time [>ast he has been suffering from
paralasis anil has had several severe
sticks. Everyone who knows the
old gentleman will be sorry to
of the sad misfortune that has befal
len him.
Some fashionable ladies are not satisfied
w ith ready made fans, but .oust have them
made to oreder; they are however, satisfied
with Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup at 25 cents and
take it regularl.f.
